      Hi there,

      I've picked up a Pi Zero and I'm messing around with Retropie. I've gotten every thing working perfectly except for bluetooth. I have a CSR Bluetooth dongle that is reported to function with raspberry pis, but when I plug it into the pi, it slows the system down to the point of not being functional. When the dongle is removed, the system springs back to life and continues as normal.

      I have tried a known to work powered USB hub (Mbeat 7 port powered hub) and another bluetooth dongle, and I get the same problem. I have tried a fresh install of the OS too. I can't seem to find anyone else reporting this problem either!

      Any help would be fantastic!

      Thanks
